Description
Photograph of Four cameramen standing in front of Estación Colonia, Mexico, ca.1910. Four men in suits and hats stand behind their large tripods to operate their cameras. They face towards the foreground while the railroad station stands beyond a large arch behind them. The signage above the arch reads, "Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico (National Railways of Mexico)". A crowd of finely-dressed people crowd the arched entrance to the platforms.
